Robert Mugabe’s Re-election And The Zimbabwean Economy

As the dust settles following Zimbabwe’s controversial election, we discuss the impact that Robert Mugabe’s re-election will have on the country’s fragile economy. Will the ruling ZANU-PF party accelerate its ambitious indigenization plan or follow a more moderate programme? Over the longer term, how will the ruling party deal with the succession questions dogging the 89-year-old president? Joining the podcast this week from Harare is Matthew Searle, a senior analyst with Business Monitor’s Sub-Saharan Africa research team. You can listen to all of our podcasts on our Risk Watchdog Blog
